This game is so crazy man. Don't judge me by the way I express my opinions, MAN! Just accept them for what they are.

(Awesome)

Anyways, I have only played about 2-3 hours but I have started to have a gay ol time. It was very daunting at first, just like I remember DAoC feeling when I first played it, new/foreign/zomg why did I pay money to learn a new one of these mfkers/etc.

But I kept on and found fun.

My ingame name is Daedenob Bonedead and I plan on being in Murder Herd (am out of game, not a member ingame yet, they may turn on me lol).

What are your in game names and guild names?

Jil is Empyreans guild lolol, dunno name.

I still havent gotten a copy yet; I log into the purchase screen every day.

You should get in irc, you'll know exactly when to try your hardest.

Just be patient and let every page finish loading before you try and refresh. Don't hammer it.

I know Mort got in as I saw him in general chat last night, congrats good sir!

No one has answered my question yet. Is the world still empty? Is most of the content still missing? Are there any npcs in the towns to make them feel alive at all now? Has anyone found a door that can be opened?

From what I've read on the boards and seen in Beta I would say Yes, Def Yes, No, and Def No... But I'm sure someone here could add to this...

I mean every melee weapon has the same abilities available to them (lame) and archery has no abilities (lame again) other than passive ones, mahirim still can't run on all fours... I keep hearing about ruins that are epic but empty (just like beta)... And doors I don't even know if they are ever going to be openable

I've run into a lot of camps of mobs out and about. I did find 1 little goblin fortress where the mobs were bugged and wouldn't fight back, when I returned the next day there were no mobs spawned. Maybe they're actively working on it, but I dunno. I'm a fan of the simpleness. It's not about NPCs making the game more fun or making the game "feel right" for me, it is the people who you encounter and want to smash.

[GhostCow]

Yeah, fuck this game. Fuck it in the ass. I doubt half of that will even be fixed by the US release.

[bonedead]

I'm having a blast.

[Erratic_Knight]

I'm having a blast.

That's cool, assuming it's around in 1 month or 2 i'll give it a shot but too many things about the game are broken or not implemented imo... But there is a great great deal of potential (and of course it's better than anything out there even in it's current state)

What build are you rolling up btw? In beta I rolled 2h sword, with bow and magic obviously. I feel like the only variation (early on at least) between people will come in the melee department (which itself isn't varied at all) That being said if you do many to grind magic up high enough the schools do separate a great deal forcing you to actually make choices which is a good thing for different character types imo. People seemed to be shooting for arcane magic and necromancy.

GC- I don't see a problem with some sort of ruins/town not having mobs at it. I have run into about 6 spawns of mobs in the open away from the starting zones and every one of them had mobs. One had bugged mobs that wouldn't fight back but it did have a patrol of 3-4 that would attack (had huge aggro range).

Isn't the content supposed to be the interaction of the community? I mean ultimately if you're going to play an MMO for a while you're going to want interesting drama. DF is anarchy, how can it get any better than that.

EK- I hope it's around. I feel it will be, but who friggin knows these days. I plan on going harvesting for a while and then working up my combat skills on my guildies. Going sword and board as well as some sort of magic for ranged attacks. Not sure what I'll go for after that, haven't even checked out the spells yet.

I don't understand all of the hate for this game. I mean we know that they are a small group of developers and we know that they want to make the game awesome even for our standards but it's just not there yet. About 2 months ago 75% of the people that came here believed this game was never going to be released, but it was and it's actually pretty frickin fun even with all the issues.

[sturmur]

Dude, it's a fucking scam.

The game is incomplete, unstable, full of exploits, etc and people are paying for a box + monthly fee that basically amounts to a paid Open Beta.

I think it's pretty sketch.

[Mortikhi]

I'm in and playing as well. Ive been afk macroing mostly though.

The game reminds me of UO

[bonedead]

Exactly. I loved UO, and this is like what UO3D was supposed to be.

My guild has walls!

It's more the fact that the game and Tsaos in particular said that a lot of things were going to happen/be in game and aren't combined with the fact that stupid things are happening...

I don't deny the game has tremendous potential, or the fact that the game is better than any other mmo our right now. But too much current BS with the game doesn't warrant me buying and playing the game yet...

I've already went through all the shit that bugged me so I won't rant again, but it's more about disappointment and disbelief rather than outright hatred for DF atm...

That being said I will play down the road most likely. They just need to sort out game mechanics and they can't even START to do that yet until they sort out this purchasing bullshit problem they currently have...

[Nubs]

To be fair, the game is really only available to people that are in the know about where the game stands. I don't think any of this was kept hidden from the customers. They lifted the NDA weeks before they went live. Not that it makes the game any more stable.

[mven]

I haven't really been playing at all as a bunch of RL shit has come up but I'll prolly get into it again sometime late next week. I need to learn more about the macroing so I can do that when I'm not actually in the mood to play lolol. MORT! GUIDE!

[bonedead]

My guess is it'll be a third party clicker. Auto-It esque.

I am glad I didn't memorize everything Aventurine promised over the last 5 years, or I might not be having THE BEST GAMING EXPERIENCE EVAR!
